Tire sizes for dually wheels
I have gradually acquired five 1 ton (ChevC30 and GM3500) trucks (all dually) and the tires sizes are varied to the point where I need some knowledge and advice. I need to buy a set of six, and would like to begin standardizing on the best size for these rigs. Two are chassis mount campers (heavy), one has a heavy welder mounted, one is a wrecker and one a flat bed (the lightest load factor).
One has size LT 7.50x16, another has LT215 85R 16, and another has 215 85R 16, and etc. Is there one size that is better for these trucks - if a person were going to try to get down to one size, what would be the best way to go? Second question: On a on-ton GMC (1970) with single rear wheels and currently 16.5 in. wheels, what tires are the best for the 16,5 in. wheel, or would you reccomend going to 16 in. wheel? All info and advice will be appreciated. PDW
